Help us rent a BF:BC2 server with RN Gaming!
« on: December 10, 2010, 08:36:35 AM »

Gents,
   RN Gaming has purchased (rented?) a BF:BC2 server to use at their upcoming New Year's LAN party. They have discussed the possibility of teaming up with FITES to rent out a 6 month block of this server for continued mutual enjoyment. If you've gamed on the recent weekends with FITES and RN Gaming, you know the epic amount of fun that ensues nightly. Peep this vid for a small taste of it:

BC2 Server Stress Test with FITES


Anywho. We're trying to get at least 10 people together between both LAN groups to help fund a 6 month block. The cost comes in at $162 and the more people we get signed up, the cheaper it'll be for each person. For those not too stellar at math, 10 people would make the cost per person $16.20.

The next billing cycle of the server begins Jan 2nd so we'd like to see funds in place the week after Christmas (to capitalize on that Christmas money you just picked up).

With the new Vietnam mod/game coming out this`ll be a perfect time to have our own server that we can manage and feel at home on while we gather and frag our comrades.

Please indicate your interest in contributing to this large amount of win! Admins will be in place from both RN Gaming and FITES with a rotating schedule of server modes the map runs.

Those that contribute money are guaranteed a slot to play as pubbers will be kindly..er...booted to make room for you. :)

Right before Christmas, we`ll tally up who all we have and announce the final cost per person for the 6 month block. I`ll update the list below as replies come in. There is a similar thread over at RN Gaming that I'm monitoring and will combine both lists.

Participant list:
-----------------
1) Czar (paid)
2) gri3v
3) Shankdog (paid)
4) ShadowWX
5) dwg115
6) Lytesson
7) Zx2Slow (paid)
8) Quick Multi-Task
9) Agent (paid)
10) TheShoctor (paid)
11) Fragout (paid)
12) Haggard (paid)

I'd be interested in contributing if you can get closer to the 10 people limit that you want. 'cause I don't want to have to drop much more than a WOW subscription to have our own server. But with the size of the group we usually get playing on the server now, I don't think getting enough people on board is going to be too difficult. Plus having a guaranteed slot is a big plus in my book. OK just count me in I talked myself into it.

Dayum. Already up to 7. At this rate, it`ll be dirt cheap when split.

We will setup a link under a seperate page on our RN Gaming website that will go to the Clan Pay paypal option for the server, and you guys can setup the same link under your site as well if you like.  I will provide the link to Czar via Steam / IRC as I don't have access to it at the moment unfortunately.     

As Czar has indicated, all that help us pay to keep the server going will be given a reserved slot and room WILL be made for you anytime you want to play should the server be full.  I personally always have the BF:BC2 Command Center admin tool running on my other monitor, so I can definately ask pubbers to leave and remove / kick / ban as needed.  This same full Admin power will be given to a few FITES guys as well.

For the rotation of gameplay modes, settings, maps, etc. for the server, I was thinking that we could do a weekly or bi-weekly rotation.  Deception had indicated just one night, but I think it would be more fair to have a whole week, including the weekend to swap out server configs, preferences, etc between RN Gaming and FITES.  So Monday to Monday, FITES can have whatever modes, settings...anything they want with their own server config, and then the following Monday to Monday RN Gaming will have their config...or something along those lines.  Whatever you guys want to do.

We are also VERY open to any changes that anyone would like to be seen made to the server.  I know that the server is technically under my name but we can run it however we all would like to see it run.  Just last night I took away the Kill Cam by request and this has already been a positive change, so we can continue to collaborate and make any kind of tweaks / changes as we see fit as it goes along :)
